They shared fame and work on stage at the time when they were the famous "galancitos" in their beginnings as actors.

At the beginning of the eighties, Ricardo Darín and Carlos Calvo were sweeping as real celebrities and had thousands of fans.

Today Darín said

goodbye with emotional words to Calvo

, his friend and colleague, who died at 67 years of age.

"Carlin, we argued for twenty years, we laughed out loud for twenty years ... Today

let me die a little with you ...

Rest in peace I hug you tight," Ricardo wrote on his official Twitter account.

Calvo and Darín were two of the actors who made up

the Galancitos group

, as they were known in the media for the soccer team that they had put together with Raúl Taibo, Darío Grandinetti, Pablo Codevilla and

Adrián "Facha" Martel

.

These were times of professional success and soccer fun for the group, not to mention the romances that ended up making them famous.

Carlin, we discussed twenty years, we laughed out loud twenty years ... today let me die a little with you ... rest in peace I hug you tight

In 1984 Carlos Calvo and Ricardo Darín

formed a duo

that was a theatrical success:

Strange Couple

, a comedy that remained on stage for two seasons.

The play, by Neil Simon, sold out non-stop tickets in Mar del Plata, during the summer season, and then continued the streak in Buenos Aires.

Taking advantage of the repercussion, they were summoned again for another comedy of the same style,

Taxi

, by Ray Cooney

, directed by Carlos Moreno.

In

Taxi

, the story revolved around a bigamous taxi driver, who managed to keep his double relationship a secret, until an accident caused a series of complications that he had to overcome before the possibility of being discovered.

The success returned to smile at them and they were also accompanied by the critics who, until then, only saw them as a group of fierce kids but without much acting talent.

Once again the streak of Mar del Plata was repeated first and then Buenos Aires, with the rooms always full of public that adored them.

They were

the prototype of neighborhood boys

, cancheros, seductive, friendly and with a good heart.

Deeply moved by the death of Carlín, Ricardo responded to a user and thanked him for remembering the actor scoring a goal during a game in Mar del Plata, between the Los Galancitos team in front of one of the journalists.

He would love to know that you remember him like this, making this goal!

thank you on your behalf.

"He would love to know that you remember him like this, scoring this goal! Thank you on his behalf," Darín wrote in a tweet, citing the video in which Calvo's play that ended in a goal is seen.

For her part, Susana Giménez, who shared a brief season in the musical

Sugar

with the deceased actor

, also joined in the farewell and paid him

a tribute from her Instagram account

where she posted a photo in which she is seen, Darín and Calvo sharing a moment in dressing rooms.

"What a sadness, dear Carlin, I remember so many beautiful moments of laughter and happiness, I hug your whole family tightly. I will always remember you," wrote the diva to accompany the image.

Many celebrities, from his friend the producer Javier Faroni to Marcelo Tinelli and Adrián Suar, through Ana María Picchio, Rita Cortese, Jean Pierre Noher, Fabián Gianola, Andy Kusnetzoff and the producer Gustavo Yankelevich, among others, joined the memory of Carlín from their networks, posting emotional words to fire the actor.
